When an addon or extension changes its behavior to "spyware", who should be notified?

While browsing extensions, I don't see a notify Mozilla or "report spyware" link to click on. There is a case where an addon is obtrusively installing a monitoring system along with the addon, and I want to report it.

There is a report button above the reviews to report the addon of wrongdoing, though Mozilla checks each addon so i doubt if its doing anything that breaks the addon guidelines.
